Mahalo Chicos,
What a wondrous and spectacular site. Tall mountains, green grass, and an ancient civilization that once thrived perched on the highest mountain top in Peru. The town or-rather-summer home to the wealthy and elite of the older days- Machu Pichu.

Mahalo Chicos,
Our train ride to Agua’s Calente-which is a short bus ride to Machu Pichu- is our next leg of the journey to reach Machu Pichu. Although the actual train ride its self took four hours to get there and seven grueling hours to get back it was worth the trip.

Mahalo Chicos,
Midori-our golden Labrador- senses something is a mist in our household. She is barking and jumping up and down as she sees our luggage packed and she has no sense as to where we are going. All she seems to display is she does not want to be left behind.
She is constantly guarding the [...] Read More

Mahalo Chicos,
Every now and then I get engulfed with these dark and lonely feelings. Especially when mother nature decides it’s time to take a break from the sun. A little back ground about me; I am nomad by nature and by up bringing, never really have one home to call ‘my home’. But I’ve learned [...] Read More
